Hey guys, we are on the list for shadowrun, not on the become your own wizard
list and such. Frankly I find these stories about Corwey and the necronomicon
very hard to believe. The necronomicon could be an interseting subject for a
shadowrun though. I once send my runners on a typical investigation in
Cthulhu style, they loved every moment of it. They barely escaped with their
lives and sanity, and they hope that they did solve the problem *nasty grin*.
Poor them. So IMHO we should stop these nonsence and start anew with more
interesting subjects.

I don't mean to offend you in anyway here, but this subject has a lot to
do with making shadowrun magic system realistic. The part about Crowley is
just about books to avoid when doing reasearch on magic.

Unfortunately we all like to discuss different aspects of the SR system,
just because you don't see the relevance doesn't mean that it isn't
important to some of us.

Of course I am not say that you have to read it. You can simply delete the
mail when it arrive if it is on a topic that you don't like. That is
one of the reasons why we fill to subject in.

There's a nice saying here:-
